Fw: Bristol & West Palestine Bulletin Mailing 501…..9OCT2023

by Sensi Mclean

Please see bulletin below. ________________________________ From: bristol_palestine_bulletin-request(a)lists.riseup.net <bristol_palestine_bulletin-request(a)lists.riseup.net> on behalf of Bristol PSC <bristol_palestine_bulletin(a)lists.riseup.net> Sent: 09 October 2023 22:40 To: Bristol PSC mailinglist - lists.Riseup.Net <bristol_palestine_bulletin(a)lists.riseup.net> Subject: Bristol & West Palestine Bulletin Mailing 501…..9OCT2023 Gaza National PSC statement:- The events of the past few days did not come out of nowhere. Palestinians have endured decades of colonial violence and control, mass expulsion, military occupation and apartheid. Generations of Palestinian children have been born into occupation and/or exile. They have been subjected to constant Israeli military assaults, whether it’s the daily invasions, arrest raids and killings in the occupied West Bank, the mass bombardments of the Gaza Strip, or the indiscriminate violence against Palestinians in the ’48 territory. Against this backdrop of extreme systematic oppression and deprivation, of course Palestinians will resist, as they always have, in a variety of ways. Over decades they have done this through protests, petitions, and marches; they’ve appealed to the United Nations, the International Court of Justice, and other international bodies; they’ve coordinated and called for BDS campaigns along with their international supporters like us. And yes, over the decades, they’ve sometimes resorted to armed resistance, which is their right, within the framework of international law, as a people under occupation. International law prohibits attacks on civilians. But those who only condemn such attacks when carried out by Palestinians whilst remaining silent over Israel’s violent imposition of military occupation, which includes the routine killing of civilians, have no moral standing to make such condemnations. The reality is that no matter how Palestinians resist, they are demonised and vilified, and Israel will continue to try to isolate them as a way to weaken their resolve. That’s why we must stand with Palestinians as the attacks increase. Join us as we take to the streets of London…… National PSC has called a demonstration in London on Saturday 14th October SEE DIARY FOR MORE DETAILS DONATE As Palestinians continue to resist on the ground, they need, more than ever, a strong global solidarity movement demanding action.

Thangam Debbonaire (Labour - shadow secretary for Culture, Media and Sport) wants a piece of the action

by Lizzie Winter

Hi Cows, We have been contacted by Thangam's assistant asking if we could meet up with Thangam. Please see the message we received. I hear that there might be some strong feelings about this and so would like to see what people think. If you feel strongly that the Cowgirls should/n't meet her, please share your thoughts on this thread or let one of the committee know. If we agree to meet her and you'd like to meet her, please also share here or let one of us know. It might go to a vote. She is an avid supporter of the Cowfolk: [cid:05c85ce4-c517-4a27-85c0-da042791f9f6] [cid:5376a292-0b44-40e7-ab70-25c71d58af0c] Hi Lizzie, Thanks for getting back. While she would prefer coming for a training, if her diary doesn't allow it, even a meet up would be nice. Thangam would love to chat about your experiences as an amateur football team and how participation in sports can be improved particularly from underrepresented communities. As your MP, she is also happy to discuss any other issues you would like to raise with her. I believe 40-45 mins should be a good time for this interaction. If you're happy for us to do so, we will also be taking some photos and videos of the interaction. If you could let me know your next few training dates, times and location, I can check to see if any of these work for her. Currently anytime after 4 pm on both the 12th or 13th work for her. Regards, Omair Here is her voting record https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/25402/thangam_debbonaire/bristol_west/rec… [https://www.theyworkforyou.com/images/og/uk-commons.jpg]<https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/25402/thangam_debbonaire/bristol_west/rec…> Thangam Debbonaire MP, Bristol West<https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/25402/thangam_debbonaire/bristol_west/rec…> Read Thangam Debbonaire's contributions to Parliament, including speeches and questions, investigate their voting record, and get email alerts on their activity www.theyworkforyou.com Thanks Peta for your swift research!

Further information on joining this year's casual league at a later date

by Hannah Popham

Hi again all, I just wanted to clarify that although the teams for the 2023 - 2024 casual league have already been chosen. New players can still join a reserves list, from which captains from the three teams will work down in order to choose new players if current ones become injured or unable to play for other reasons. If you are interested in being added to the reserves list for this year's casual league, let Hannah or Sensi know. Thank you, The committee.
